Home is where the heart is

Since we have moved away from Seattle the most consistant question we get is... When will you be back.  Well friends the answer is..... More then likely we won't be.  Except for visits of course. 
We truely love it here in New England.  Of course if the Lord called us back we would go.  But that doesn't look like its on the horizon.  Our heart is here with our church and amazing church family.  We have the best friends in the world. 
Besides have you ever been to New England...? No its no tropical paradise But it does have the MOST beautiful seasons That I have ever seen.  look at all those leaves my boys are in!

This is the view from my front window.  Now imagaine thousands of these trees in very vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds.... ya! GORGEOUS

I do love my friends and family in Seattle though so don't get all crazy like i've totally abandoned you for other people ;-D

Life as I know it

Officially Welcome to my life.

The last two years in a nutshell…… Well at least my version of a nutshell.  So here goes.  We moved to the east coast 2 years ago because the Lord called us here.  Dylan was 9  months old I was already pregnant with baby#2.  We came with no jobs and no place to live just in full obedience and surrender to God to help start a ministry that we would soon grow to adore.  The first 8 months we lived in a great house that the Lord provided for such a reasonable rent for us.  Then we moved into a more permanant house and a month later had our second baby boy Brayden.  They are the loves of my life.  When I think about the last couple years I am awestruck at the provision that God has given to our family.   For 2 years we have watched God give us financial miracle after financial miracle,  and not only that but we have Grown in and leaps and bounds in our relationship and understanding of the Lord.  Its a beautiful thing to become nothing and to let God show you who you really are.
Currently Derek has a really good job, I stay at home with the kids and we are heavily involved with our church Engaging Heaven Center in New London, CT  Our Pastors James and Debbie Levesque are two of our very best friends and we love them so much.  If there is one thing that I have learned over the past several years it is that I may not always see what God is doing but with God every new chapter is more beautiful then the last.
More to come on a different day
there are two baby boys calling my name!
